Celebration Time

Today in Room 4, we celebrated Florence being in remission after two cancer free years. Florence’s mother Siobhan came to visit and talked to us about Florence’s special beads.  There are over a 1000 beads each one representing a medical intervention she has had; such as blood tests, overnight stays, medication and so much more. Afterwards, our class were treated to a cupcake for morning tea. The staff of Hamilton East school are so impressed by Florence’s courage and endurance, we are very proud of her.

We wish her the world.

 

Meet Our Grandparents

We thank all those grandparents who were able to join us last Thursday in Room 4. We had an enjoyable morning singing waiata, sharing our learning and spending time together making craft activities with our grandparents.

For me, it was truly a delight to meet all the many grandparents and special loved ones who play such an important role in the lives of the students’ I teach. Thank you for giving up your time and joining us.

Kids Can Fundraiser - Dress up as your Role Model

This term we have been learning about role models. We have been thinking about 'who' our role models are and most importantly 'why' someone is our role model. On Friday March 26th our whole school raised money for the KidsCan charity by dressing up as a role model they admire.

When I Grow Up....

I'm absolutely loving this weeks art and writing around the theme of "When I grow up"... Some of Room 4s students are very clear about what they what to be when they grow up, while others instantly changed their minds. If you look closely you will see that some of the pictures don't quite match the writing! We had a lot of fun with this topic and it generated lots of interesting discussions.

Swimming At Last!

This week there was much squealing and delight as Room 4s tamariki splashed about in our newly retiled swimming pool.

A Fun First Few Days!

The tamariki in Room 4 have had a fun first few days getting to know each other. Together, we brainstormed our class treaty promises and rules to ensure we have a happy, kind environment to do our best work in this year.

Kia ora! 2021!
